I would sure like to have all the old WWII and WWI stuff, that I had as a kid.
When I was young back in the early 1960s, many hardware stores had barrels of old bayonets from the Civil War through WWII for sale cheap. Bolt action Army surplus Rifles were also for sale very cheap.
I bought two Mauser bayonets but they disappeared in a move when I was in the military. Lots of stuff disappeared in that move.

Army Surplus stores were a blast when I was a kid in the Fifties! I had all kinds of stuff!
I have an Arisaka rifle my Uncle brought back from “island hopping.” Flower intact. I need to get some ammo for it!. It’s mint. And not one of the late war crappy ones.
